Recover useful hardware from an abandoned platform.
Repurpose inexpensive retired LoRa gateways as a capable, maintainable modern mesh platform instead of treating them as electronic waste.
Systems built from the signal up.
These projects show the common thread: start with a physical or human signal, connect the layers, and turn the result into a system people can operate.
Case 01 · Open-source IoT
Meshpoint
Turning retired LoRa hardware into a browser-managed mesh base station.

The full operational stack.
Radio capture and translation, multi-protocol decoding, Linux services, hardware autodetection, configuration, security, storage, APIs, browser interfaces, messaging, GPS, MQTT, cloud synchronization, and deployment tooling.
A public system people use and extend.
An open-source platform with 524+ public commits, 270+ GitHub stars, support across multiple hardware platforms, and a growing deployed network.
Case 02 · Distributed infrastructure
Meshradar
From individual edge devices to network-level intelligence.

Turn scattered radio observations into a coherent network view.
Individual edge devices could see nearby activity, but operators needed searchable, network-wide visibility across locations and time.
The intelligence layer above the edge.
A cloud platform that aggregates Meshpoint observations into live mapping, signal analysis, topology, packet analytics, fleet health, and a searchable node catalog.
A living map of a distributed mesh network.
More than 66,000 indexed nodes with continuously updated local and cloud visibility for understanding network reach, activity, and behavior.
UnifyID
From Stanford StartX and a founding team to a venture-backed enterprise platform.
Stanford StartX
Team growth: 0→50+
$20M Series A led by NEA
Acquired in 2021
Multiple U.S. patents
Make authentication stronger without making it more intrusive.
Traditional identity checks add friction at the exact moment a product needs trust, while mobile devices already produce rich behavioral and environmental signals.
Passive behavioral authentication.
A platform combining device sensors, machine learning, privacy, identity, SDKs, and APIs to recognize legitimate users through the way they naturally interact with their devices.
Technical validation, team scale, venture backing, and acquisition.
UnifyID grew from a Stanford StartX company into a recognized market leader, built teams from zero to more than 50 people, raised a $20 million Series A, and was acquired in 2021.
